ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don your black robes and grab a gavel. You are your own best judge in the week to come when it comes to the quality of relationships or the value of investments. Make permanent improvements in net worth.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Opposites attract. The opposite of one profound truth is often another profound truth. As this week unfolds, you might find that a promising relationship spirals upward into magical romantic areas.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The cure for boredom is curiosity. If you hone in on subjects that interest you and give them devoted attention, you will be able to break free of ennui in the week ahead. A busy schedule requires a planner.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You are right where you need to be. In the week ahead, your instincts are right on target and you will be capable of dealing with any emergencies or upsets with wisdom. Avoid making impulsive changes.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The quality of your life could be determined by the quality of your questions. A questioning attitude might be your secret ammunition in the week ahead and protect you from fantasies with no basis in reality.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are well aware that quick fixes aren't always an option. In the week to come, you must apply thrift to your spending habits. Overcome adversity by working hard for your pennies. Romance may blossom.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Fate is sometimes a fool's excuse for failure. You will grow aware of how easily you can direct your own life and work more efficiently. Overcome your fears to accomplish something valuable this week.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Come to the table feeling good about who you are. It is not necessary to change your views in order to impress others. During the upcoming week, it is possible to profit from a learning experience.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Fate is only inevitable if you do not act. You might notice that the wheels of commerce are grinding away in the week to come, so it will pay to keep an oil can on hand and speed them along.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): This week could be the best of times or the worst of times. People may be fooled into thinking you are better than you are, but there are some things at which you could truly excel if you merely persevere.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You never realize how thin the ice is until it cracks. In the week to come, you can develop brilliant ideas, but be cautious not to push too hard, probe too deeply or stir up trouble behind the scenes.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a week of conversation. Understanding and sympathy are helpful tools that will bring you closer to a special someone this week.

IF JULY 3 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: During the next three to four weeks, you should avoid making crucial decisions or changes in your normal lifestyle, as these could bring complications. August is the best time to make new friendships that brighten your life, but a new romance might not live up to your fantasies. November is a perfect time for a romantic getaway or fun-filled vacation. From December through early January, you seem to have an angel looking over your shoulder who can guide you to make wise choices and smart assessments of situations and people. If you have not been sure of a relationship, this is the time to put it to the test because a bad relationship will crumble while a good one will be strengthened.
